    Boxing Scene Champions

    So? Who do you believe is the true champion at each weight?

    For me, it goes like this.

    Heavyweight- Andy Ruiz
    Cruiserweight- Maris Breidis
    Light Heavyweight- Sergey Kovalev
    Super Middleweight- Callum Smith
    Middleweight- Canelo Alvarez
    Junior Middleweight- J-Rock
    Welterweight- Spence
    Super Lightweight- Jose Ramirez
    Lightweight- Lomachenko
    Featherweight- Leo Santa Cruz
    Bantamweight- Naoya Inoue

    What's your list?

    After all, the alphabet belts don't mean ****!

      I have no issue with yer list myself. I made a thread just before I seen it though, for the HW crown, so reckon I'll wait and see if anyone votes before I make a personal list.

      I'm a bit tired and the wording was forced so the proposition itself is the only thing provocative about that thread. Probably should drum up a ****er intro to the vote.

        I like it. I'd put Crawford at welter, Davis at lightweight. Canelo is well placed at 160. The rest, I couldn't be bothered to rank. Inoue and Estrada are the top at their divisions too.

              You know, I thought that's what I did. Haha. Maybe I looked at it wrong but those were my intentions. So when it popped up on here, I was a bit confused. But I can do this!

Boxing is going through this soft era or some ****. It sucks.
                True words. I feel as though once they make the best fight the best then everybody is happy and the $$$ rolls in. Issue with that is once they get good ppv numbers or viewings, both boxers promoters want to start making showcase fights assuming it was there fighter that sold those numbers.

                Perfect example is wilder he’s delusional thinking he sells. Wilder-Fury was a success because both guys fought each other but look at there numbers after this bull**** showcase fights scheme

                  I'm not sure what you are mad about. You should be mad that the WBC designated Loma emeritus champion because that is BS. It seems you are more upset that Haney was then elevated. Loma is the one benefiting form this decision, not Haney and definitely not us as fans.

                    Yeah, I was happy to see Wilder and Fury fight. It was a good match-up. Of course, the fight everyone wanted to see was Wilder and Joshua. If you had one organization, they'd have to fight each other. There would be no choice as there shouldn't be a choice. In any other sport, there wouldn't be. Boxing is so pathetic and apparently ****ing arrogant, that they just sell the same old bull**** fights no one asked for and expect fans to eat it up. Unfortunately there are people ****** enough to do this. I don't think the promoters care about actual great fights. It's all just money to them. It's kind of like if I was selling vacuum cleaners and I really really liked vacuum cleaners and understood their mechanics and wanted to give the best possible vacuum cleaners to my customers. I wanted to make a profit too of course, but I strived for quality. This is not promoters. They don't give a **** about the product. They'd take a dump in a box and sell it to you and laugh about it. They're like Vince McMahon with the WWE. He admitted he didn't even like wrestling. Imagine this. The top dude over an entire sport basically doesn't like the damn sport! That's what we have here and that's why we get ****.

                      You sure about that.
                      Haney on twitter shouting “youngest champ!” while celebrating like he won the lotto.

                      Which he basically did.
